On how to
meet Buddha Metteyya in the future:https://What-Buddha-Said.net/drops/IV/How-2-Meet_Buddha_Metteyya.htmOn such Full-Moon Uposatha Poya Observance days:Any Lay
Buddhist simply joins the
Three Refuges
and undertakes the Five Precepts
like this: Newly bathed, shaved, white-clothed, with clean bare feet, one kneels at a shrine with a Buddha-statue, and bows first
three times, so that feet, hands, elbows, knees & head touch the floor.
Then, with joined palms at the heart, one recites these memorized lines
in a loud, calm
and steady voice:

As long as this life lasts: I hereby take refuge in the Buddha.
I hereby take refuge in the Dhamma.I hereby take refuge in the Sangha.
I hereby seek shelter
in the Buddha for the 2nd time.I hereby seek shelter in the Dhamma for the 2nd time.I hereby seek shelter in the Sangha for the 2nd time.I hereby request protection from the Buddha for the 3rd
time.I hereby request protection from the Dhamma for the 3rd time.I hereby request protection from the Sangha for the 3rd time.I will hereby respect these
Three
Jewels the rest of my life!

I accept to respect and undertake these 5 training rules: I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all
Killing.I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Stealing.I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Sexual Abuse.I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Dishonesty.I hereby accept the training rule of avoiding all Alcohol & Drugs.As long as this life lasts, I am thus protected by these 5 precepts...

Then, one keeps and
protects these sacred vows better than one's
own eyes and children!, since they protect you & all other beings much
better than any army! They are the highest offer one can give in & to
this world! So is the start towards Nibbāna: the Deathless Element!
This is the Noble Way to Peace, to Freedom, to Ease, to Happiness,
initiated by Morality,
developed further by
Dhamma-Study
and
fulfilled by training of
Meditation...

Today indeed is
Pooya or Uposatha or observance day, where any lay
Buddhist normally keeps even the
Eight Precepts
from sunrise until the next dawn... If any wish an official recognition by the Bhikkhu-Sangha,
they may simply forward the lines starting with "I hereby
..." signed with name, date, town & country to
me or
join here. A
public list of this new quite rapidly growing global Saddhamma-Sangha is set up here!
